Asda has launched ghost crumpets as a deliciously creepy breakfast treat for families this Halloween.

The crumpets come in a pack of six and are available now for £1, so kids can enjoy a ghoulish breakfast for the weeks running up to the big day.

Best lightly toasted until golden brown and then topped with lashings of melted butter and jam, the morning staple follows on from last Halloween’s spooky pumpkin-shaped crumpets, which jumped straight to the top of our shopping list.

Ciara Loker, Asda Product Developer said: ‘Following the success of the fluffy Bunny and Love Heart-shaped toaster treats at Easter and Valentine’s Day, we know that shaped, novelty crumpets are always popular choices amongst our customers, and we couldn’t let Halloween go by without creating these devilish delights, which are no trick and all treat.

Social media users have taken to Instagram to express their delight, with one writing: ‘Getting into the halloween spirit’.

Another said: ‘Okay so I couldn’t leave these ghost crumpets alone on the shelf- I need them in my goth life’. While another fan added: ‘Monday morning essentials ❤️👻 who doesn’t need ghost crumpets in their life?!’
